I assume none of them do that at the moment. So it shouldn't be an
issue if only one does. For the moment I only force the "sout" so that
it matches what we negotiated with the Chromecast. If it's done too
late in some case (race condition) I get a vout instead of the sout
needed by the Chromecast.
Also we don't want the user to have to figure out the sout to use for
each file VLC is going to play. Depending on the source we might
transcode or just transmux or even just serve the file as-is
(hopefully the pre-parser is versatile enough that we can make the
right decision at that stage).
I am fine with introducing a more "on hands" time of interface
controller if necessary.
